Lady Octavia Warrenton:
Colonel Campbell has just been begging me to find him a wife. Now what particular quality do you most admire in a woman?

Col. Campbell:
The quality of silence!

Lady Octavia Warrenton:
Now, Colonel, you're flattering me just as dear Lord Melbourne did once when we sat next to each other at an intolerable meal call banquet. "Lady Warrenton," he said, "you have the power to drive men mad."
